Changes proposed for
LGH hospital elections

Dear Editor:

’ Once again it is time to elect a
new hospital board for Lions Gate
Hospital, and once again the two
opposing factions, Pro Life and
Free Choice, are blitzing the public
with their campaign to have a slate
elected on this issue alone. :

Abortions are such a minute
part of the overall functions of
Lions Gate Hospital that to
nominate and elect someone on
this issue alone seems ridiculous to
me, keeping in mind that each side
represents the radical fringe of the
protlem and not the views of the
general public.

I aiso resent having to pay a $5
fee to join a society that will then
allow me to vote for someone to

“dispense my tax dollars. That is, I

would resent paying the $5 if I

-were allowed to join the society,

but, being an employee of Lions
Gate Hospital, I am not allowed
membership. .

Unlike municipal workers who

are encouraged to voie for mayor
and council, or school teachers
who can not only vote for school
trustees but are actually eligible to
run and hold the office of trustee,
some 2,000 citizens are denied a
vote, because of their vocation, as
to how their health care tax dollars
will be spent in their own com-
munity.

I believe it is time the directors
of Lions Gate Hospital were
elected by all of the voters of the
three municipalities serviced by the
hospital, without the $5 voter’s
fee,.which must deter some of our

_less-prosperous citizens and

without the discrimination that
certainly prohibits a large number
of informed voters.

The elections could easily. take
place on the same slate as school
trustees, aldermen and mayors. |
would hope the three councils
would consider this fairer and
less-expensive alternative.
